2. National Trends & Expert Commentary
- As per Indian Express, this is the second fall this week, prices have been falling since August 9 (The Indian Express).
- GoodReturns says gold has fallen two days this week and has been down since August 9 (Goodreturns).
- Times of India mentions volatility due to Swiss-gold tariffs and White House signals. Global trade updates (US–China and US–India) are the key (The Times of India).
Why the Fall?
- Stronger US Dollar & Bond Yields
- Dollar and yields are making gold less attractive as a safe haven, hence the gentle sell-off.
- Trade‑Tariff News Flow
- Mixed signals on import tariffs (Swiss and others) are creating investor uncertainty and short-term volatility.
- Profit‑booking After Recent Highs
- After hitting ₹1 lakh/10 g last week, some are booking profits, hence the pullback.
What it Means for You
- Jewellery buyers & small investors: A small dip is a good opportunity to bottom fish, though movement is minimal.
- Investors in physical gold or ETFs: Check if current levels align with your long-term view. Volatility is still on.

Conclusion
Today’s fall is small and not a big sell-off — just a correction after last week’s upmove. If you’re planning to buy soon, wait and see if prices settle or fall more. If you already hold, know that slight volatility is part of the gold market especially around global news.
